The establishment media has sought to bury and scoff
at Ron Paul's dominating success in the Alabama and New Hampshire
straw polls, while exalting the meaningless Iowa contest as a
bellwether benchmark of national sentiment simply because their
stooge Mitt Romney was the winner.

He also trounced the contest's only southerner,
Mike Huckabee, by a clear 210 votes.

The Alabama state primary will play a very prominent
role in next year's presidential election because it is expected
to be moved forward and become one of the first.

Ron Paul was also victorious in New Hampshire
this weekend after garnering 73% of the vote at the Strafford
County GOP straw poll.

All the candidates had representatives in New Hampshire
and Paul easily beat off Tancredo and Huckabee, who were there
in person. A PR attempt on behalf of the Romney campaign to place
signs all around the venue got a return of just 26 votes.

The significance of straw polls can be debated back
and forth, but what can't be argued is the fact that Mitt Romney
received lavish coverage from the media after his success in Iowa
- despite the fact that the Iowa straw poll has historically proven
to be meaningless - yet Paul's victory in Alamaba and New Hampshire
was met with muted dismissal.

"Now, granted, Alan Keyes won the last contested
GOP straw poll in 1999, followed by Orrin Hatch, with eventual
nominee George W. Bush coming in third," writes Outside
the Beltway's James Joyner, "But Pat Robertson won the
Iowa straw poll in 1987 and the press still pretends that contest
is meaningful. Indeed, the winner in Ames has only gone on to
win the nomination once. George H.W. Bush won the poll in 1979
and went on to lose the nomination to Ronald Reagan. Then, Bush
lost the poll in 1987 (to Robertson) only to win the nomination.
The other George Bush won in Ames in 1999, though, and also won
the whole thing. So they’re 1 for 4!"

If the race was on a level playing field and the
establishment media afforded as much attention to Ron Paul's success
as they gave Mitt Romney after the Iowa straw poll, the Texas
Congressman's campaign would be given unstoppable momentum, which
is why at every turn the press have sought to dismiss, ridicule
and ignore the only Constitutional candidate on the roster - Congressman
Ron Paul.
